Adios to My Old Life
Adios to My Old Life | Caridad Ferrer
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Does a seventeen-year-old from Miami have what it takes to be the next big Latin superstar? And does she really want it? As a talented singer-guitarist with a dream of going pro, Alegría Montero is getting fed up with the endless, boring parade of quinceañeras and other family party gigs. She's longing for something bigger. And Oye Mi Canto -- a new reality TV show that's searching for the next Latin superstar -- is definitely that. Ali figures she'll never make the cut, but auditioning seems like a good way to get her overprotective father to take her ambitions seriously. To Ali's complete shock, she passes her audition. Next thing she knows, she's dealing with wardrobe fittings, cameras, reporters, vocal coaches, and websites designed by lovestruck fanboys. She's also dealing with jealousy, malice, and sabotage among the contestants, all of which has her wondering: Is it really time to shoot for the stars and try to win the whole competition, or is it time to say "Cut!" and become a normal teenager again?

Caridad Ferrer is one of my favorite #LatinxAuthors. Adios to My Old Life, in particular, is a sweet, enjoyable #ya story about a young singer and her journey on an American Idol-esque tv show to find the next great Latin superstar. I'm surprised how often I come back to this book when I'm looking for a fun read. #feistyfebruary #oyemicanto #caridadferrer
